Research

Americas
all
point
to
the
same
conclusion:
climate
change
is
causing
the
world's
glaciers
to
melt
at
an
increasingly
rapid
pace.
It
is
a
phenomenon
that
may
prove
catastrophic
for
the
millions
of
people
in
the
world
who
depend
on
ice
melt
for
their

In
this
activity,
students
play
the
roles
of
investigators
looking
for
the
source
of
fuel
that
is
contaminating
wells
in
a
fictional
town.
They
will
use
a
topographic
map
and
information
about
groundwater
flow
and
well
locations
to
determine
the
source
of
the
pollution.
Questions
help
students
understand
how
groundwater
flows
and
how
a
contamination
plume
spreads
over
time.

in
agriculture
and
rural
water
supply;
how
it
sustains
